I promise you, this beauty product is perfect for hot sweaty Summer days and an absolute must to bring along while traveling, which makes it both a Beauty essential and Travel essential. I’m talking about the Murad MattEffect™ Blotting Perfector. My favorite blotting product to prevent a shiny, oily skin during Summer. On hot days like these we sweat a lot, which also means that by mid-day your skin’s oil breaks through, making your pores look bigger :(. Something we all don’t want. What we do want is a beautiful, natural looking skin that stays fresh and mat throughout the day.

The Murad MattEffect™ Blotting Perfector van Murad is the solution! The liquid blotting formula comes in a round box with mirror inside and contains a little sponge applicator which can be used for applying the mattifying lotion. The mattifying (and cooling!) lotion absorbs oil from your pores and can be dabbed onto the face whenever it’s needed. The lotion has a babypink colour, has a nice fresh smell and is therefore perfect for warm days.

The blotting lotion can be applied before and after you’ve applied make-up. In fact, it even sets/fixes your make-up when applying it afterwards! Applying the lotion before your make up will help prevent oil from breaking through your pores and will help your make up last longer.

Nice bonus: you only need a little bit of product because the mattifying effect will last for hours.

Everywhere I go I take this little miracle worker with me. I can’t do without anymore.
